Before you install the .NET Agent for Linux in a container environment, make sure you meet the requirements and complete the steps listed on this page. 

General Requirements

Verify that: 

  • The machine where the application runs can connect to the Controller. Proxies or firewalls on the network between the agent and Controller may require additional configuration.

  • The application environment meets the requirements on .NET Supported Environments. 

Ensure you have these applications and licenses:

  • .NET Core application running on Linux 
  • .NET license for each .NET Core application running on Linux. See Observe License Usage.

Controller Requirements

Confirm you meet the following Controller requirements:

  • Access to a compatible Controller. See Agent and Controller Tenant Compatibility for details. 

  • Confirm the connection settings to the Controller where your agent reports data that you supplied the host and port during installation.

.NET Agent Environment Variables

Applications running in an Alpine Linux container require an additional mandatory environment variable, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which can be defined in the Dockerfile as follows:

ENV LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/appdynamics/dotnet
BASH

See the AppDynamicsConfig.json file example on .NET Agent for Linux Advanced Configuration Options for more details.
